FuriosaAI is raising up to $500 million in Series D funding to scale mass production of its RNGD chip before a 2027 IPO. 🚀 This Seoul-based startup challenges Nvidia with silicon delivering 2.25 times the inference performance-per-watt of traditional GPUs. Receiving its first mass-produced TSMC shipment this month, the company enables servers that consume just 3kW versus the 10kW required by benchmarks. This shift highlights a systemic industry transition toward energy-efficient inference hardware.
